Beurre and Sel

I was trekking around the Essex Street Market Saturday and nearly walked right past this tiny little stall.



The fun, bright colored wall pulled me in when I realized this was Dorie Greenspan's cookie place!



The thought of trying out a baked good from the multiple James Beard award winner herself had me on cloud nine.  I began with the original Sable.



This classic french cookie was just as it should be- buttery, crisp and practically begging for a nice big Cafe au Lait on the side.  Ummm...Can I have this for breakfast every day?



It only got better with the World Peace- a blend of two types of bittersweet chocolate with a nice dose of fleur de sel.  One bite and I was pretty certain these cookies could amend some serious world problems.



Unfortunately the Espresso Chocolate Chip cookie was a downer.  The texture was dry and flaky almost as if it had been cooked too long.  Luckily I saved a little World Peace to finish my cookie binge and all was right with the world in the end.  Dorie herself is said to man the station often so a return trip soon is definitely on the list.
